The Black Africans Who Ruled Europe From 711 To 1492

Black German Scholar, Ulrich Von Hutten in 1517, scolding a Cardinal for misbehaviour.

– The Spanish occupation by the Moors began in 711 AD when an African army, under their leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from northern Africa and invaded the Iberian peninsula.

A European scholar sympathetic to the Spaniards remembered the conquest in this way:

”The reins of their horses were as fire, their faces black as pitch, their eyes shone like burning candles, their horses were swift as leopards and the riders fiercer than a wolf in a sheepfold at night . . . The noble Goths [the German rulers of Spain] were broken in an hour, quicker than tongue can tell. Oh luckless Spain!”

– British historian Basil Davidson wrote that there were no lands in the 8th century “more admired by its neighbours, or more comfortable to live in, than a rich African civilization which took shape in Spain”.

– Education was universal in Moorish Spain, available to all, while in Christian Europe ninety-nine percent of the population were illiterate, and even kings could neither read nor write. At that time, Europe had only two universities, the Moors had seventeen great universities! These were located in Almeria, Cordova, Granada, Juen, Malaga, Seville, and Toledo.

– The Moors introduced paper to Europe and Arabic numerals, which replaced the clumsy Roman system.

– The Moorish rulers lived in sumptuous palaces, while the monarchs of Germany, France, and England dwelt in big barns, with no windows and no chimneys, and with only a hole in the roof for the exit of smoke. One such Moorish palace ‘Alhambra’ in Granada is one of Spain’s architectural masterpieces. Alhambra was the seat of Muslim rulers from the 13th century to the end of the 15th century. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

– It was through Africa that the new knowledge of China, India, and Arabia reached Europe. The Moors brought the Compass from China into Europe.

– At its height, Córdova, the heart of Moorish territory in Spain, was the most modern city in Europe. The streets were well-paved, with raised sidewalks for pedestrians. During the night, ten miles of streets were well illuminated by lamps. (This was hundreds of years before there was a paved street in Paris or a street lamp in London.) Cordova had 900 public baths – we are told that a poor Moor would go without bread rather than soap!

”Although generations of Spanish rulers have tried to expunge this era from the historical record, recent archeology and scholarship now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Al-Andalus for more than 700 years – from 711 AD until 1492. The Moorish advances in mathematics, astronomy, art, and agriculture helped propel Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance.”

THE REST OF EUROPE

– An African king named Gormund ruled Ireland during the Anglo-Saxon period in England reports the medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth.

– Halfdan the Black was the first Africoid king to unite Norway.– When the British Isles were invaded by the Vikings some of these Norse raiders were Africoid. In fact, different varieties of ‘Viking’ Africans lived in Scandinavia during the middle ages and are frequently mentioned in Viking sagas.

– There were Black Huns! The dictionary describes the Huns as “a fierce barbaric race of Asiatic nomads who led by Attila, ravaged Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D.” The Gothic writer Jordannes described their infamous leader, Attila the Hun as having “a flat nose and swarthy complexion.” He describes the types of Huns he had seen as “of dark complexion, almost black… broad shoulder, flat noses and small eyes.”

– Moors ruling Scotland in the 10th century mixed with whites until the black skin color disappeared.

– The black blood type is common even in Nordic Europe where intermixing has been happening since antiquity.

ENGLAND’S OLD RULING BLACK FAMILIES

”There should be no doubt to anyone, that these Family Crests represent old Britain’s Black Elite, it’s most noble, wealthy and powerful families. Peasants and commoners did not have family Crests and Coats of Arms. Though there is disagreement as to which came first – the Crest or the Arms, but it seems likely that the crest came first, as a family or Clan ensign.”

Well done folks!!! You guys are doing good job.we need to get back to the beginning of black people to defining who we are and what we should be proud of !!!! Been BLACK IS AN IDENTITY, IS A PRIDE, IS THE HIGHEST CULTURE, THE CHOSEN BEINGS ON OUR PLANET.TO BE BLACK, YOU NEED TO DESERVE IT THEN YOU KNOW THE ( SECRETS ) YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE THAN TO BE CHOSEN ONES .MANY BLESSINGS

This has to be total BS if you look back at scottish history there is no mention of these people in Scotland or England. I am of scottish decent and have studied my families history as far back as France in Normandy and cannot find any history of a black ruling sociality.

Well, Mr Montgomery, I attended a Roman Catholic School in British Southern Cameroons and was told the biblical stories were historically true and accurate. There is no mention in the Bible that the notion of monotheism was first preached by an Egyptian Pharoah, Akhenaton. We are told Hippocrates, the Greek, is the father of modern medicine. But Egyptologists have told us differently. Hippocrates, himself studied in Egypt and acknowledge that the Egyptian Imhotep was the real father of medicine. So, Mr Montgomery, there are many things that modern European education hides from the world.

After reading these wonderful stories I feel overwhelmed. These people made Africa rich and the black race purpular, unfortunately what went wrong after their time, obviously this generation is yet to recover from the evils of the last generation. To make matter worse, this next generation has more work to do to prove to other races the true worth of being in this skin. I feel sometime is this skin coursed or it was programmed by God that Africa should be like this
